On April 13th and 14th, Iran launched an audacious attack on the nation of Israel that could lead to World War III. Tanner discusses why this happened, and if we should start preparing to get shipped over to fight in the Middle East.
It rose from an idea to the largest entertainment empire in history.All that goes up must come down.
Hamas and Hezbollah, claimed to be funded and equipped by Iran, have invaded Israel, and Israel has vowed to wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth. Why is this happening, and why should we care?
In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, there are 41 enormous, state-of-the-art theatres filled to the brim with patrons almost every night, contributing over $2 Billion to the New York City economy annually. But these theatres seem somewhat out of place when juxtaposed with the New York City skyline.
How did Broadway become "Broadway?"
We all know Genesis on down through Revelation... but that's not all there is to it. In fact, there are other religious texts out there that fit the Judeo-Christian narrative, but have been buried by institutions like the Catholic Church for centuries. What are they? And why were they deemed 'unworthy' to be part of the Bible?
Leader of the Wagner mercenary group Prigozhin launched a rebellion hell-bent on ousting Russian president Vladimir Putin from office, before calling off the attack just as soon as it began and disappearing into Belarus.
What happened, and what does it mean?
William Shakespeare is the most prolific writer in the history of the English language.
Strange that he did it without any formal education in reading or writing the English language, never owned any books, didn't know how to spell his own name, and never left England.
What if Shakespeare didn't actually write Shakespeare?
And if he didn't, who did?
According to Genesis, God became so upset with humanity that he flooded the planet to destroy them all, save for Noah and his family. Noah is supposed to save two of every animal, male and female, to keep them from going extinct.
It's a crazy story. You know what's crazier? That nearly every culture in the world has the same story somewhere in their cultural history.
Before you think you're gonna learn much, Tanner just rants for forty minutes about how we don't know anything about anything about anything about our history.
As the illegal alcohol trade grew during Prohibition, massively powerful Italian gangs fought for control over New York City, and it got nasty.
In 1518, hundreds of people suddenly started dancing to absolutely no music in the streets of Strasbourg in the Holy Roman Empire. They continued for weeks, and eventually months, on end, with no one being able to explain why it happened. Some reports even detail many of them dying from exhaustion, rather than cease their songless dance. This is a deep dive into the weirdest rave in history.
In 1324, a man showed up in Cairo, Egypt with 60,000 people, each carrying untold amounts of gold. Supposedly, he was the wealthiest man in history, and is name was Mansa Musa, ruler of the Mali Empire.
In 1932, the Australian government waged war on an unstoppable tide of invasive emus... and lost.
Oh, yeah. We're back.
Fighting in the streets of Culiacan between members of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Mexican Armed Forces comes to an end with the Cartels ceasing their operations. The Sinaloa Cartel issues an ultimatum to the Mexican Government threatening widespread destruction if their leader is not released. Tanner explains why he thinks this event is important to understand, and why the American Government should be paying much closer attention to the events in Culiacan.
The massive Sinaloa Cartel has launched a ground assault on the Mexican city of Culiacan in retribution for the capture of one of their leaders by Mexican authorities. Tanner gives details on what's happening and what it could mean.
Putin has annexed an area of Ukraine as large as North and South Carolina into the Russian Federation, and and a prominent Chechnyan authority calls on Putin to authorize the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. What does it mean?
Spoiler: Tanner goes a little unhinged in this one.
U.S. President Joe Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly and called out three specific nations, and those three nations seem to be showing signs of blooming bromance. Tanner explains why it makes him nervous.
The Chinese, Russian, and European Union economies are hurtling toward an imminent collapse, signaling the impending largest global shakeup that the world has ever seen.
Turkey officially has boots on the ground in Syria, calling into question what would happen were Syria to retaliate?
The Axis powers commit a series of fatal flaws that lead to their ultimate demise in the explosive conclusion to the greatest conflict in human history.
Tensions around the globe inflame as a great global crisis looms. China and Taiwan, Russia and Ukraine, and Serbia and Kosovo. How could it all coalesce to tear apart civilization as we know it?
From pre-Mongol invasion to the rise of Ukrainian Nationalism in the 1700s to horrors under the Soviets with detours to the wars in Chechnya and Georgia, Tanner follows the threads through history to figure out exactly why Putin decided to send troops into Ukraine in February of 2022.

Explosions rock the tiny nation of Transnistria between Ukraine and Moldova. Many have begun warning that Russia could stage a false flag attack in the same region as a pretext for an expansion of the war.

Russia launches a massive offensive in eastern Ukraine, and Tanner speculates that Russia's endgame may have changed. Their new plan could be much more cut-and-dry than previously.

Russia abandons northern Ukraine and redirects its forces to the east, and the country braces for the bloodiest fighting of the war yet. Tanner confronts the reality that while calling for Putin to be prosecuted for war crimes, many other war crimes around the globe go unprosecuted, including those carried out by the United States. Tanner also examines the curious nature behind the enormous debts Ukraine has racked up over the years, and why global banks are still demanding payments from Ukraine while they're in the middle of a war, while also giving them MORE hefty loans that they will never be able to pay back.

Ukraine launches the largest counterattack seen since the outbreak of the war as the conflict enters its fourth week and the Russian advance continues to stall. In response, Russia bombs a theater filled with civilians in the besieged city of Mariupol, though Tanner speculates on more sinister motives behind the attack. Vladimir Putin officially outlaws "false information" about the invasion of Ukraine, and targets prominent social media influencers both living in Russia and abroad. China and Russia get closer, and it could be something to really get worried about.
And then Saudi Arabia and... Panama?

Russia lays siege to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, creating a humanitarian crisis with accusations of anti-civilian action on both sides. Media wars create a propagandistic dystopia where no one knows what's real anymore. Western credit card companies cease all international payments in or out of Russia, so Russia turns to a different source for its international payments.
